EVP Audio

This first audio contains all the histories we discussed during your investigation along with any EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) that may have slipped through.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else on the team.

• 5:15 “what he said”
• 5:44 “twice”
• 15:08 “in more than twenty” Big John Cannady’s first jersey number 20.
• 20:47 “that’s funny”
• 25:18 “chapters”
• 35:04 “purpose”
• 40:52 “raise”
• 45:18 “wife”
• 45:49 “nowhere else”
• 46:03 “no place”
• 50:34 “good time”
• 50:51 “December” Wrapping up the Pinckney Mansion site discussing Eliza Lucas Pinckney whose birthday is in December.
• 55:28 “fifty-nine” On our way to Philadelphia Alley to discuss Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd who lived at 59 Church Street.
• 57:12 “twelve eleven” This is the date of the Great Fire of 1861 which destroyed a good portion of Charleston, not just the PInckney Mansion.
• 1:05:18 “George”
• 1:14:57 “against the”
• 1:15:20 “flipping a red” Getting closer to the Powder Magazine where we would discuss the red-headed female pirate, Anne Bonny.
• 1:19:53 “so blind” (song lyric)
• 1:20:20 “water…gallon” Two distinct stations/voices. 
• 1:20:46 “drowning” More water terms as we discussed piracy. These last two findings are very close in timestamp. Noteworthy.

• 1:29:54 “can’t go through with it”
• 1:35:32 “king” John “Calico Jack” Rackham’s ship was The Kingston.
• 1:46:09 “that dude I love…sleeping with ???” (after these two phrases, it sounds like a rewinding sound). Needs further analysis, this whole set of phrases and sounds is completely odd and out of place.
• 1:50:38 “I’m not kidding”
• 1:55:37 “don’t you come back” Leaving the Powder Magazine area.
• 1:55:49 “the devil”

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: EMF readings of 4.8mG (milligauss), 13.4mG, and 16.2mG.

The lyric “fat bottomed girls” was heard on the spirit box.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 10.5mG, 14mG, 15mG, and 23.0mG.

Terms heard on the spirit box: “Elijah Wood” (very close phonetic sound to Eliza), “Roxanne”, “when Jesus was born”, “five hundred”

Philadelphia Alley: The phrase “every time you turn around” was heard on the spirit box. Reminder that we were discussing dueling that started off back to back.

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on the spirit box: “now, Eliza” (Eliza Lucas’s husband, Charles is buried across the street from our location and will often “chat” about his wife), “Roxanne”, “eight seven two three”, “another one bites the dust”, “can you hear me”, “ninety-four”

Washington Square: 

ESTES Method: A slightly successful session. Terms that stood out in real time: “whistle” (Dr. Ladd, The Whistling Doctor’s house is nearby this location), “thirty-eight” (Henry Timrod died at the age of 38 from tuberculosis), “golden” (59 Church Street, home of Dr. Ladd is yellow in color), “church” (this was said as to finish my question, it’s also the name of the street of Dr. Ladd’s house). 

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 13 minutes of the SBox recording above). 

• 2:15:28 “hear your voice”
• 2:18:23 “not me”
• 2:20:55 “twenty-four hours” Henry Timrod’s son, Willie, has a birthday on Christmas Eve.
• 2:21:00 (whistling) Plenty of clues found about The Whistling Doctor’s house at this location.
• 2:24:12 “aware of”
• 2:24:44 “three”
• 2:27:22 “booking” A stretch, but we asked several times for Henry’s occupation to be identified as a writer/poet.

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: EMF readings of 4.8mG (milligauss), 4.9mG and 10mG. 

The phrase “Saturday at three” was heard on a spirit box.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 9.0mG, 10mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “nine three two” (Eliza Lucas Pinckney died in 1793), “twenty-four”, “twenty-five”, “forty-five” (this is Charles PInckney’s age at time of marriage to Eliza Lucas), “carriage” (when near the carriage house for the Pinckney home), “Judy”, “Phillips”(Charles PInckney, Eliza’s husband, is buried at St. Philips Church), “God Bless America”, “number one car dealer” (a stretch, but George Washington was a pallbearer at Eliza’s funeral), “sixty-four thousand”, “six to four”(I don’t find it coincidental that these last two terms have six and four in them as we were wrapping up this site. Our next location discussed Dr. Ladd who was born in 1764), “E” (heard on the SB11-ANC spirit box when asking Eliza’s first initial, expecting it on the Onvoy device), “fourteen fifty” (Eliza and Charles were married for fourteen years up until his death in 1758), “seventy” (SB11-ANC. This is Eliza’s age at death). 

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “four nothing”, “six”, “criminal urges” (beginning the discussion of Anne Bonny), “Anne” (Anne Bonny, famous female pirate).

Powder Magazine: No EMF identified.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “seven nine five”, “roses” (relative to Dr. Ladd’s address of 59 Church Street, now known as the Thomas Rose House), “secret” (this term is coming up a lot around this area), “doubt”, “five people”, “eleven and two” (this is Dr. Ladd’s death date: November 2, 1786), “welcome”, “P-H”, “three four eight seven five”, “Charles” (it’s common to hear this name near Charles PInckney’s grave across the street), “dixie”, “doctor” (The Whistling Doctor), “large amounts of money”, “yellow” (59 Church Street is a giant yellow house), “Dallas”

Washington Square: No EMF readings identified.

The phrase “I remember 29” was heard on a spirit box. I stand corrected, Henry Timrod was born in 1828.

ESTES Method: An unsuccessful session. Terms that stood out in real time: ”rose” (we were literally 0.3 miles away from the Thomas Rose House at 59 Church Street where Dr. Ladd from the dueling story once lived),

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 12 minutes of the SBox recording above). 

• 1:59:22 “right to the top”
• 2:01:48 “doing good” Henry Timrod’s wife, Katie, has a maiden name of Goodwyn.
• 2:02:29 “with the death”
• 2:08:40 “still dripping off his beard” Odd, Timrod had a distinctive mustache, but if he had a beard when he died, there would be blood in it from his tuberculosis coughing.
• 2:05:20 “consider this” (song lyric)
• 2:05:38 “word” We consistently asked about Timrod’s occupation of a writer/poet.
• 2:08:55 “ties”

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: No activity recorded.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 3.6mG (milligauss), 4.1mG, 5.4mG, 6.2mG, and 9.3mG.

The name “Jack” was heard on a spirit box. Not finding this relevant since no other clues discovered, but we would later discuss John “Calico Jack” Rackham.

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “cash”, “two hundred”, “nine”.

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “four” & “blue” (heard multiple times. This could be in relation to Eliza Lucas’s husband, Charles Pinckney, buried across the street who often gives us details about Eliza Lucas. They had four children and she was an indigo plantation owner), “welcome”, “eight” (heard on the SB11), “find me” (when asking about Anne Bonny’s child from Cuba).

Washington Square: No EMF readings detected.

ESTES Method: A slightly successful session. Terms that stood out in real time:

• “the bells” Direct answer to the question about what we heard from the church.
• “Elizabeth” No other defining clues, but there is a memorial to Andrew Jackson’s mother inside Washington Park: Elizabeth Hutchinson.
• “a child” While asking Henry about his son, Willie.
• (religious phrases) After getting our answer about the bells at St. Michael’s.
• “Paul” This is the college friend of Henry Timrod, Paul Hamilton Hayne.

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording:

• 0:58 “all other natural”
• 3:40 “feeling low…the bell”
• 7:06 “doctor…yo, doctor” (two different voices/stations). We were 0.3miles away from Dr. Ladd’s home address of 59 Church Street. The phrase “my house” was said during the live session.
• 9:39 “version of him”
• 12:25 “quite warm”
• 15:16 “friends” Loose, but could be related to the name “Paul” said during the live session. The term “best” was also near the end of our digital word list making the phrase “best friend” from two separate devices.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else on the team.

• 0:07 “all of it”
• 5:26 “four oh five”
• 10:06 “shipping container”
• 10:38 “must warn you”
• 15:17 “the crown”
• 20:44 “my younger brother” Possibly disembodied. See photo and separate audio below this list. Not sure if the dynamic of the ghost hunting family inspired this phrase (mother, father, three sons) at the Pinckney Mansion site, where Eliza and Charles Pinckney had three sons and one daughter.
• 25:52 “hard choice”
• 40:20 “brother” When words show up more than once, they are screaming to be looked at and analyzed.
• 46:06 “close the door”
• 50:44 “so in love” (song lyric)
• 55:47 “twenty percent off” Bleed over from Big John’s Tavern. John Cannady’s first jersey number was 20.
• 1:00:59 “coming to church” We were headed to Philadelphia Alley at this time, towards Church Street which holds St. Philip’s Church.
• 1:05:49 “more dramatic”
• 1:15:30 “major problem”
• 1:20:23 “Parker”
• 1:25:27 “twenty-nine” Along with “cousin” in the digital list below, Charles Pinckney (Eliza’s nephew) died on October 29.

First few seconds of the video near Big John’s. Excited to report that though we speculated that most of the points of the figure caught was mainly the contour of the vehicle, I cannot explain the “feet” of the figure. This is quite possibly an anomaly since it changes shape and does not remain on the same points of the vehicle.

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: EMF readings of 3.2mG (milligauss), and 6.9mG.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings of 8mG, 20mG, 32mG, 50mG, and 118mG. This last reading would be considered extremely high for this location, but has been seen on occasion.

Terms heard on the spirit box: “special place”, “ahead”, “give me permission”, “free”, “four forty” (looked at as 4-4-0, this could be a relation to the year Eliza and Charles married in 1744).

Philadelphia Alley: The name “David” heard on a spirit box. Still, no relative information found on who this person is. This name has been very common among various spirit boxes over the past 2-3 weeks in this area.

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on the spirit box: “cadets” (we were near the Powder Magazine which served in seven wars and one rebellion), “action”.

Washington Square: No EMF readings detected.

ESTES Method: A slightly successful session. Terms that stood out in real time:

• “public school” When asking about Henry Timrod’s wife, Katie. She was a student of his when she was only 16 years old.
• “different is good” When asking Timrod about the maiden name of his wife, Katie Goodwin.

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording:

• 0:46 “through him”
• 2:59 “nine” Henry Timrod’s son, Willie, only lived to be 9 months old.
• 6:29 “tell me the truth”
• 9:56 “grateful”
• 12:51 “she loves me” (song lyric)

• 25:27 “anger”
• 35:16 “piece of paper”
• 35:18 “peace” Looking at these two markers together “piece of paper, peace”. It’s vague, but this could be a reference to the Constitution where two Charles Pinckneys signed for the state of South Carolina.
• 40:13 “Ghostbusters!” Hilarious.
• 46:11 “left the lights on” It is unknown which leg Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd was shot in during his duel with Ralph Isaacs. Perhaps this is the answer.
• 50:39 “eighteen”
• 55:23 “warriors”
• 1:00:28 “nothing to lose”
• 1:05:15 “make friends”
• 1:16:08 “event fee”

• 1:25:42 “concept”
• 1:30:55 “fifteen years”
• 1:35:48 “in partnership”

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: EMF readings from the Mel Meter: 33.1mG (milligauss), and 34.7mG.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 15mG, 28mG, 40mG. A 6° temperature drop was also noticed in real time; it was quickly returned back to ambient temperature fluctuations.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “six two eight”, “eight oh six”, “hit me with a light”.

Philadelphia Alley: The phrase “Matthew eight twenty” was heard on a spirit box. Here is the biblical verse: “ Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”” I find this interesting only due to the fact of the story of Dr. Ladd taking an offer to rent a room from friends of Ralph Isaacs.

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Mary Jane” (there are two Marys in Anne Bonny’s tale, it is indiscernible as to which this name belongs: Mary Read or Mary Brennan), “Claire”, “Charles” (Charles Pinckney is buried across the street: Eliza Lucas’s husband), “oh six two two”

Washington Square: No EMF readings detected.

ESTES Method: An unsuccessful session.

• 3:42 “on purpose”
• 3:51 “nine” Willie Timrod was only nine months old when he passed.

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: The phrase “I am bleeding” was heard on a spirit box.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF Readings from the Mel Meter: 3.1mG (milligauss), 6.1mG, 8.4mG, 9.1mG, 15.2mG, 17.7mG, 25.1mG, 30.5mG, 35.6mG, 37.1mG 38.9mG, 42.9mG, 47.8mG, 52.1mG, 89.0mG100.7mG. These readings are outside the normal range of 18-22mG spikes for this site.

Noteworthy to mention a slight headache at the same time of these very high EMF readings.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “twenty-five”, “God”, “George” (Eliza’s infant son), “kissed”, “death”, “wool” (see “clothes” in the digital word list above), “home” (common term at the Pinckney Mansion site), “I don’t know what I’m doing”, “dark”, “more …in church”.

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard from spirit boxes: “1600”, “seven” (see “double” in the SBox findings above), “missed a tooth”.

Powder Magazine: Terms heard from spirit boxes: “I am hungry”, “Sean Murphy”, “landslide”, “fire”, “from the side”, “pirates” (we were discussing female pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read), “unforgiveable names”, “police”, “five nine seven five” (Dr. Ladd lived at 59 Church Street), “Dr. Evans” (Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd, the Whistling Doctor), “eighty-four” (it is speculated that Anne Bonny lived to be 84 years old), “ninety-six”.

Washington Square: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “sixty-seven” (Henry Timrod died in 1867), “Alex”, “Grant”.

ESTES Method: An unsuccessful session. However the name “John Bell” was said when asking Henry Timrod what we were hearing at the time the St. Michael’s church bells were sounding. This has been the most common question answered during any of the ESTES sessions coming through in different mediums of spirit boxes and/or The Onvoy device.

Here are my findings from the ESTES Recording spot check:

• 0:42 “president”
• 3:06 “called upon”
• 3:48 “little bit longer”
• 6:12 “the thoughts you were getting”
• 9:11 “golden”
• 9:31 “bully”
• 12:16 “what did I do”

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: The name “Laura” was heard on a spirit box. This name was heard again later, but it’s noteworthy to mention we had a “Laura” on this team.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings from the Mel Meter: 23mG (milligauss), 34mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “son” (from the SB11), “Samuel”, “Nick” (it’s common to hear my name in spaces I visit nightly), “stomach”, “belly pain”, “don’t you think so” (heard after asking how beautiful Eliza’s garden was; real time moment), “Eliza” (Eliza Lucas Pinckney), “twenty-one”, “miniature”, “we heard you”, “seventeen seventy” (as we were leaving the site; note the number 70 is Eliza’s age at death in 1793), “understand somebody”.

Philadelphia Alley: The Onvoy gave the letters “R-I” practically on command. These are not just the initials of Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd’s dueling opponent, Ralph Isaacs, but also the initials of Dr. Ladd’s home state of Rhode Island.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “I’m sitting there”, “ladies”, “Laura” (again), “doctor” (we were discussing The Whistling Doctor).

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Jack” (heard on multiple spirit boxes. John “Calico Jack” Rackham), “well played” (SB11), “historical”, “yellow” (bleed over from Dr. Ladd. The house where he lived at 59 Church Street is a big yellow house), “help”.

Washington Square: Terms heard on spirit boxes in close proximity to the entrance: “Nick, how you doin”.

An EMF reading of 6.7mG discovered on the northern end of the park.

ESTES Method: A very successful ESTES Method performed at this location. One of the best set of terms from a live session I’ve seen to date.  A few terms that stuck out that hold relevance to the space:

• “Billie” This is a very close phonetic sound to the name of Henry Timrod’s son, Willie.
• “59” The address of where Dr. Ladd lived, 59 Church Street, is 0.3 miles away from our location.
• “Thomas” 59 Church Street is now known as The Thomas Rose House.
• “No” This was a direct answer to a yes/no question.
• “explicit address” Said around the time other relevant phrases to Thomas Rose House were said.
• “Jackson” There is a memorial to Andrew Jackson’s mother inside Washington Park.
• “she was shy”  and “she was 16” Said one right after another.  Timrod met his future wife when she was only 16 years old in 1856. Katie was one of his students. Katie was born in 1840.
• “bells ringing” This was said after asking what we were hearing in real time while St. Michael’s church bells rang.

Here are my findings from the ESTES Recording spot check:

• 0:23 “can’t be trusted”
• 0:56 “the law”
• 3:52 “ninety-five”
• 6:01 “go between”
• 9:18 “hope comes with”
• 9:58 “noble woman”

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: No activity recorded.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 16.1mG (milligauss), 43mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “eighty-one”, “value”, “heard it from a friend”.

The battery on one of the SBoxes “drained” and began replaying a recording from the SD Card. Though this could’ve been user error, the device displayed a full battery very shortly after.

Philadelphia Alley: No activity recorded.

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “my daughter in law kills her family”, “king” (Calico Jack’s ship name was The Kingston), “even”

Washington Square: A 64.7mG EMF reading discovered.

The Onvoy gave the letters “T-U-B” consecutively after asking Henry Timrod how he died: tuberculosis.

ESTES Method: A successful double-blind ESTES method performed while at this site. Specific terms that stood out: “book” (asking Henry what his occupation was), “Steve” and “Nick” (Steve and I were standing next to each other), “yes/no” answers that were relevant and accurate to the question asked, and “eight” (part of Henry Timrod’s birthdate of December 8, 1828).

Here are my findings from the ESTES Recording spot check:

• 0:07 “anytime”
  3:28 “signs of suffering”
• 6:23 “Irish”
• 12:14 “the beginning” Vague stretch, but the year “1859” was said during this session. This was the beginning of Timrod’s published career.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else on the team.

• 0:18 “twenty-two” Relevant in one of two ways, but defined with the next term. Eliza Lucas was born in 1722, but also married Charles Pinckney at the age of 22.
• 10:06 “year” This defines the “twenty-two” above as her birth year.
• 10:49 “retirement”
• 15:10 “they suffered”
• 20:13 “the left” Thomas Pinckney was shot in the left leg during the Battle of Camden.
• 30;30 “it was my mom”
• 30:39 “thirty-two, thirty-two”
• 30:52 “Julian Lennon” Sounds a little like the name, Julianne, the name of a ghost hunter on our team.
• 35:46 “the light”
• 55:38 “save twenty percent” With the name John that was heard in real time, around the time of this term showing up, Big John Cannady’s first jersey number was 20 with the 1947 New York Giants.
• 56:07 “three”
• 1:00:49 “create”
• 1:05:53 “double” With the “7000” heard in real time, this gives us double sevens, Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd’s birthday: July 7.
• 1:10:10 “John” Based on our location, relative to John “Calico Jack” Rackham.
• 1:20:26 “I can play”
• 1:26:00 “we understand the importance”
• 1:40:05 “calvary”

Marker 1:00:01 Washington Park. These points have no “lines” in between them. Secondly, there are no depth points that should’ve been picked up by the camera in this location. Use the slidebar to see the original screenshot, and one lightened three times for clarification.

Marker 1:00:02, Washington Park. A point of reference to the previous photo. Same location, different points.

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: The number “nine” was heard on spirit box. No other defining clues, but Big John Cannady was born and died in the month of September.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF Readings: 3.1mG (milligauss), 15mG, 16.9mG, 17.1mG, 22.4mG, 34.5mG, 40mG, 48mG, 96mG. The K-II Meter maxed out at 25mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “eleven” (part of the date of the Great Fire of 1861 which destroyed the Pinckney Mansion: 12.11.61), “7000” (see “double” in the SBox findings), “birthplace”, “doctor” (seeing a lot of clues to our next location involving Dr. Ladd’s duel with Ralph Isaacs), “death”, “remember”, “day”, “three-ninety-five”, “fire” (see “eleven”), “Alabama”, “John” (relative to bleed over from Big John’s Tavern).

Philadelphia Alley: EMF reading of 15mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Mark” (bleed over from the Powder Magazine. Along with “reader” in the digital word list, we have Mary Read’s pirate name of Mark Read), “number one”, “one”, “greatest love”, “past”, “Spanish” (we were about to discuss piracy in the Jamaican islands).

Powder Magazine: EMF reading of 10-15mG from the K-II Meter. Other devices gave readings of 3.6mG, and 16mG.

Terms heard on the spirit boxes: “rain”, “Thursday” (noteworthy to mention that Anne Bonny and Mary Read’s trial for piracy on November 28, 1720 was indeed a Thursday), “family”, “pedal”, “financial”, “report”, “Christianity” (common to see/hear religious terms when near St. Philip’s), “without me”, “John Murphy” (John “Calico Jack” Rackham), “neck”, “head”, “infection”, “black” (these last four terms could be clues to Blackbeard, who was beheaded and once raided Charleston looking for medicine for syphilis), “eighty-two” (Anne Bonny’s tentative death date is April 25, 1782).

The Onvoy spelled out the word “LIE”.

Washington Square: EMF readings: 12.6mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “1840” (though within Henry Timrod’s lifetime, I could find no relevant event to his actual life in this year), “six”, “blood” (Timrod’s famous “Blood Book” is found at the Charleston Library Society), “ladder”, “solutions”, “disappear”, “gun”, “soldier” (Timrod briefly fought in the Civil War)

The Onvoy spelled out the word “SUNK”.

An unsuccessful ESTES Method at this location. Vague terminology that could be related, but no defining terms discovered.

ESTES Method:

Here are my findings from the ESTES Recording spot check:

• 0:32 “we may not be able to see you”
• 3:15 “this was horrible”
• 6:18 “ended…two sides” (we did ask Timrod about the war he fought in)
• 9:12 “fifty-nine” (this is the address of Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd, 59 Church Street. It is 0.3 miles away from our location and we’ve been noticing more clues showing up while in Washington Park.)
• 12:26 “cultivate”
• 12:40 “big homerun” Looking at this as “big home”, this could be a description of 59 Church Street.
• 15:06 “made some mistakes”

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else on the team.

Note for this recording: It is sped up faster than other investigations by the user. This recording is set to to a 3-4 speed setting versus the normal setting of 1 on the SBox.

• 0:32 “reason”
• 5:08 “unpredictable” (song lyric)
• 5:32 “number nine”
• 6:15 “sixty-five”
• 9:53 “rock star”
• 10:29 “Nick” It’s not uncommon to see my name in spaces I visit on a nightly basis.
• 15:19 “made a difference”
• 20:09 “Tom” No other defining clues, but Eliza had a son named Thomas Pinckney.
• 25;21 “large”
• 30:12 “dirt’ It’s common to see gardening terms when discussing Eliza’s indigo experiments.
• 34:57 “go to church” With “Brown” also heard at this location, this could be literal direction to “go to Church [Street]” (where Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd lived: 59 Church Street.
• 35:09 “focus”
• 40:14 “so much”
• 45:24 “brown” An anticipating location of Philadelphia Alley where we would discuss Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd, The Whistling Doctor.
• 50:20 “seven”
• 55:04 “seven” Double sevens. Another indicator from Dr. Ladd. His birthday is July 7 or 7/7.
• 55:19 “eleven” Still at the Pinckney Mansion site which was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1861 on December 11.
• 1:05:22 “Dallas”
• 1:05:29 “drama” (confirmed disembodied voice) See separated audio below with a screenshot of the sound waves from the audio. This is inside Philadelphia Alley.
• 1:15:43 “freedom” Anne Bonny was trying to earn her freedom by marrying privateer James Bonny.
• 1:20:25 “fifty”
• 1:30:34 “Tennessee”
• 1:40:25 “energy”
• 1:50:16 “end”
• 1:50:22 “really are poor” Walking into Washington Park to discuss Henry Timrod, a poor writer.

Marker 1:05:29, disembodied voice discovered: “Drama”. The audio waves above cover 4 different radio station sweeps, so not radio chatter. Also notice the wiggly separated audio waves, that’s where the voice comes through unlike the tight audio waves around it.

Thermal Imaging Video

No anomalies detected during the spot check of the thermal imaging video. This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.

Infrared Lighting Video

No anomalies detected during the spot check of the IRPOV video. This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.

Structured Light Sensor Video

Marker 0:35, Pinckney Mansion site. This “stick” figure shows up very briefly with no indicators of other objects/people behind it.

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: No activity recorded.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 13.0mG (milligauss), 15.1mG, 20.4mG, 40.4mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “forty-five” and “Chuck” (Charles Pinckney was 45 years old when he married Eliza Lucas, 22), “motion”, “Brian”, “partner”, “one year ago or so”, “windows”, “judges”.

Philadelphia Alley: The letters “D-R” showed up on the Onvoy device on the way to this location, relevant to the Dr. we were about to discuss.

Powder Magazine: EMF reading of 2.7mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “four five two”, “murdered” (when asking about Anne Bonny’s first born child), “help”, “Charlie’s” (close phonetic sounding to Charles. We discussed Charles Pinckney earlier, Eliza’s husband, and he is buried across the street at St. Philip’s eastern cemetery), “north”, “zero zero”, “lonely night”, “seventy” (at times, with additional clues, we’ll have clues to Eliza Lucas here, almost as if Charles is still talking about her. Remember, that Eliza Lucas is buried in Philadelphia and died at the age of 70).

Washington Square: EMF Readings; 46mG, 54mG, 74mG, 133mG.

A slightly successful ESTES session with the answer of “write” when asking Henry to tell us his occupation: he was a poet/author.

ESTES Method:

Here are my findings from the ESTES Recording:

• 0:09 “from Florida”
• 0:17 “New York” (we had a party from New York on the team)
• 3:03 “stay with us”
• 3:46 “David” This name keeps coming up on investigations, have yet to find any relevance.
• 5:59 “like it”
• 6:39 “four four eight”
• 9:33 “churches”
• 12:04 “ninety-four”
• 15:26 “Sabbath”
• 15:38 “disease” Vague, but Timrod died of tuberculosis.

I was also notified that one of the hunters under the ESTES method kept hearing someone coughing in their spirit box. I wanted to point out that I also gave one cough during our ESTES session, but didn’t think anything of it at the time, but now find it noteworthy.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “George”, “I loved her”, “locations around the world”, “eighty-five”, “it was a lot of fun”, “Rhode Island” (not only was part of the team using this device from Rhode Island, but I was hoping for that connection with Dr. Ladd since he came to Charleston from Rhode Island.)

Washington Square: An unsuccessful ESTES Method performed at this site.

ESTES Method:

Here are my findings from the ESTES Recording spot check:

• 0:09 “different type of”
• 0:37 “anytime you want”
• 5:57 “but I’m not smiling”
• 10:47 “qualify”
• 15:28 “words” Vague, but we were trying to contact a poet/author.
• 15:50 “Princeton”
• 16:12 “1807”

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else on the team.

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: A 9.7mG (milligauss) EMF reading discovered while at this location.

The numbers “seven” and “twenty-five” heard on spirit boxes.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 3.3mG, 4.7mG, 5.2mG, 5.6mG, 9.5mG and 40.4mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “fifty”, “three”, “rain”, “seven”, “five”, “eight three zero”, “roses” (another term relevant to our next location. Dr. Ladd lived at 59 Church Street, this house is known as the Thomas Rose House), “pharmacy” (medicinal terms).

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “thirty-five years”, “over five hundred”, “therapy”, “devil”, “seven point three”, “naked”, “high blood pressure”

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Harry”, “for many”, “three five”, “David” (unsure who this is, but this name has been showing up here frequently), “be my little baby” (we discussed the lack of knowledge based around Anne Bonny’s first child), “April 16^th” (though unclear who this belongs to, but both Anne Bonny and Mary Read died in the month of April), “New best friend”, “Charles” (Charles Pinckney is buried across the street from our location), “Annie, are you okay” (song lyric. Not coincidental that we were leaving the Powder Magazine discussing Anne Bonny at this time).

The Onvoy gave the letters “R-I” (Rhode Island, where Dr. Ladd is from), and “D-R” (Dr. Ladd, the Whistling Doctor).

Washington Square: Slightly successful ESTES Method session with the term “news” said twice. Henry Timrod wrote poetry published in newspapers.

ESTES Method: Below are my findings in the ESTES Session recording.

• 0:01 “rest
• 3:02 “money”
• 7:01 “forty”
• 9:03 “negotiate”
• 9:34 “faced with”
• 12:18 “calls campus”
• 12:28 “the artist”
• 15:42 “members”
• 15:54 “how has your life changed”
• 16:10 “we appreciate that”

**Noteworthy to mention that the recording spirit box seemed to change speeds several times in the regular progression recording along with the ESTES recording by slowing down when in essence, these devices were sped up with each new location visited.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else on the team.

• 0:21 “hot water”
• 0:45 “seventy” Eliza Lucas Pinckney was 70 years old when she passed in 1793.
• 5:29 “mother and child” We did have a pregnant ghost hunter on the team.
• 10:59 “let’s redirect”
• 16:12 “six”
• 20:34 “run”
• 25:34 “demand”
• 40:25 “alone”
• 45:12 “started drinking”
• 45:32 “deeper”
• 50:26 “change daily”
• 1:01:06 “three theories”
• 1:06:06 “war” Vague, but we were getting closer to the Powder Magazine that served seven different wars.
• 1:10:05 “for living”
• 1:16:06 “gotta get you to stop butchering”
• 1:30:54 “great physician” Bleed over from Philadelphia Alley into the Powder Magazine area relevant to Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd from the dueling story.
• 1:35:33 “independence” Another vague reference, but Anne Bonny was seeking her freedom and independence like a man.
• 1:48:12 “around four”
• 1:48:18 “talk to me”
• 1:50:45 “sister” No other defining clues (like names) but we were passing Poogan’s Porch on Queen St. where I previously mentioned the tale of Zoe St. Amand and her sister, Elizabeth due to clues heard in real time very similar to this term. See real time notes below.

*Noteworthy to mention that the last eight minutes of the SBox recording are extremely sped up. This could be user error or other supernatural activity. I’ve seen this happen while at the Powder Magazine. That space is where devices like to take on their own controls including cameras.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF detection from the Mel Meter: 22mG (milligauss), 24mG, 32mG, 37mG, 67mG, 83mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Jeremiah”, “father daughter”, “fire” & “this girl is on fire” (two separate spirit boxes around the same time. The Pinckney Mansion was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1861), “red” (what color is a big red barn), “the lives of children”, “given she left him”.

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “don’t”, “now I need”, “Edward” and “head” (gives clues to Blackbeard, birthname Edward Teach, who was beheaded in Ocracoke, North Carolina.), “thirty”, “job fail”.

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Dave” (this name, along with David, keeps popping up at this location. My research has yet to find a tie to the location), “200-300”, “about the money”, “clinging to”, “fifty”, “fifty-five”, “Abbey”, “country, “four”, “twenty-four” (with these two numbers, it’s close to the speculation of Anne Bonny’s death date of April 25), “red” (the color of Anne Bonny’s hair, commonly found here), “rose” (relevant to the address of Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd at 59 Church Street, now known as the Thomas Rose House), “1929” and “nurse and her sister” (I briefly discussed Zoe St. Amand, who lived with her sister, Elizabeth in what is now the restaurant, Poogan’s Porch. The year of 1929 is off, but Zoe would’ve been alive during that time and research couldn’t prove her sister’s occupation)

Washington Square: No EMF detected at this location, which could be looked at as anomaly given the amount that is commonly found here.

ESTES Method: An unsuccessful session.

My spot checked findings in the recorded ESTES session audio:

• 5:22 “return…and looking”
• 10:39 “clearly”
• 15:21 “you need to go”
• 15:44 “posture”
• 20:16 “you got places to go” Normally, I wouldn’t notate cliched pieces like “leave” and “get out”, but it’s noteworthy to mention that there are two phrases in a short amount of time that are stating these types of phrases.
• 25:50 “let me help you with that”

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: EMF spikes of 4.2mG (milligauss) and 12.2mG were discovered while at this location.

The numbers “twelve” (part of the date to the Great Fire of 1861 that destroyed the Pinckney Mansion: December 11, 1861), “magic eraser” and “fourteen” were heard on spirit boxes.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF spikes discovered: 29mG, 38.0mG, 39.8mG,

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “January 9^th”, “Hilary” (from the ghost hunter using that device: SB11-ANC), “twenty-four”, “he is fooling us”, “John” (bleed over from Big John’s Tavern), “1807”

Zora’s initials came up consecutively on the Onvoy.

Noteworthy to mention that three separate ghost hunters had their names or initials come up on their assigned devices. It’s one thing to have one ghost hunter hear something so specific to themselves, but three is considered an anomaly on it’s own.

Philadelphia Alley: An EMF reading of 2.9mG discovered while in the alley.

Terms discovered on spirit boxes: “Atlanta” (slightly relevant to the listener wearing Atlanta clothing), “you don’t have to be rich”, “pregnant” (heard after bringing up our next location to discuss Anne Bonny and the mystery around her first child).

Powder Magazine: No EMF discovered here.

Terms heard all from the one spirit box: “Anne”, (Anne Bonny), “John” (John “Calico Jack” Rackham), “Mary” (Mary Read), “doctor” (bleed over from Philadelphia Alley), “Charles” (not only is this Chip’s real name, but this name is often heard at this location due to Eliza’s husband and nephew, both named Charles, buried across the street at St. Philip’s eastern cemetery).

Washington Square: Terms heard along the way to this location: “murder”, “gun”.

ESTES Method:

My spot checked findings in the recorded ESTES session audio:

• 0:21 “really good”
• 5:29 “hear that”
• 9:35 “speak for”
• 11:15 “feel”
• 12:25 “just killed a man” (song lyric)
• 16:54 “I can do it for you”
• 17:10 “Sean Penn” A bit of stretch, but the focus word “pen” sticks out when we’re attempting to make contact with a poet, Henry Timrod.

An unsuccessful session. However, one phrase in general stuck out to me based on our location: “two blocks away”. This phrase could be referencing the house that Dr. Ladd lived in (from the dueling story). His house, 59 Church Street, is two blocks away, approx. 0.3 miles away and we’ve been seeing very specific details come through, not about Dr. Ladd, but about the house. This address, now known as the Thomas Rose House, holds the only historical marker to a Charleston home that tells a ghost story.

• 5:19 “we start”
• 15:24 “there’s people”
• 15:40 “birthday”
• 20:47 “chapter 36”
• 30:41 “potatoes”
• 35:49 “will multiply”
• 40:37 “first” We would’ve been discussing George Washington’s role as pallbearer at Eliza Lucas’s funeral around this time.
• 45;38 “recovery”
• 50:32 “used to be dead”
• 55:50 “piano”
• 1:00:18 “perfect in every way”
• 1:10:02 “Ukrainian border”
• 1:15:34 “do it right” (song lyric)
• 1:20:30 “bleeding” Very vague, but Dr. Ladd may have refused treatment to his gun wound so he could bleed out the wound himself.
• 1:25:39 “mentor”
• 1:30:44 “brother in law” Interesting and needs further research to see family ties, but goes along with the “five oh three” heard in real time. Washington’s visit, Day 3, was May 3^rd, 1791, where he visited the John Rutledge House. In this resource, it’s noteworthy that another Rutledge, was captured by the British on the same date in 1780.
• 1:35:41 “I made my choices”
• 1:40:44 “man on the moon” (song lyric)

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: No activity recorded.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings from the Mel Meter: 8.0mG, 9.1mG, 13.8mG, 11.1mG, 12.3mG, 27mG, 31mG, 33.6mG, 45.5mG, 47mG, 91mG.

Terms heard on the spirit box: “momentarily”, “sick”, “asshole”.

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on the spirit box : “1850”, “by the tree”, “business”, “Isaac” (direct reference to Dr. Ladd’s dueling opponent, Ralph Isaacs).

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on the spirit box: “coconut” (heard as we neared the Powder Magazine to discuss piracy), “rum” (was said over top of me discussing drunk pirates), “Charles” (two different Charles PInckneys are buried across the street at St. Philip’s cemetery), “church guy” (not only were we on Church Street, but this could also be a reference to Dr. Ladd’s address: 59 Church Street), “five oh three” (see “brother in law” from the SBox findings above), “David” “Shelby”.

Washington Square: EMF readings: 6.3mG, 7.1mG, 9.1mG, 20.6mG, 22.1mG, 64.5mG.

ESTES Method: A successful ESTES method performed at Washington Square. Terms that stood out in real time: “drowning” (said twice when asking Henry Timrod how he passed away. He died of tuberculosis choking up blood onto the famous “Blood Book”), “to write in a book” (Timrod was a writer. This was said when asking about his job), “bloody diamond” (completes the “how did you die” questioning)

Here are my spot-checked findings from the following recording:

• 0:27 “I just want you to know”
• 10:02 “I’m good”
• 15:37 “honey”
• 20:20 “if you put your trust”
• 20:45 “kinda hard”
• 26:11 “after”
